Intensity Skates 1991 Catalog #1.



For whatever dumb reason I got into the habit of saving skateboard mail order catalogs. I have long since stopped since graphics change so often and there is no good reason to save a CCS catalog with Ryan Sheckler on the cover. This is from Intensity Skates in Maryland and is worth it for the photo of Jim Thiebaud alone. I'm liking the Blockhead, Dogtown and Planet Earth graphics, especially for the Chris Miller tree.

Pretty funny. I started Intensity out of my bedroom when I was 19 years old. What a great time it was in the skateboard industry...

A trip to Intensity was always a fun road trip and the skate Demos back in the day were a boon to the DC/MD skate scene!
